Did you stand up straight but stay relaxed?
It looks like a stood up straight. I am not sure if it looks like I looked relaxed.


Did you pause for a moment before you began your speech?
I don't think I really paused before I began. I can't be sure though because the video starts right when I start speaking.


Did you look at your audience?
I think I looked at the audience a lot. I did not look at the the whole time though because I had to read my notes.


Did you let your facial expressions naturally reflect what you were saying?
I don't think I made any facial expressions at all. I used a few when I was talking about how cruel they were.

Did you use your hands?
I am pretty sure that I did not use my hands at all. I might have but I can't see it in the video.


Did you speak loudly enough so that everyone could hear you?
I think I spoke loud enough. I could hear myself for the entire video.


Did you change your tone to show how you felt (upset, excited) about an idea or to emphasize a point?
I did not do it to much. I might have done it a little bit when I was talking about how cruel people were.


Was your speed of delivery too fast, too slow or just right?
I think it was just right for most of the time. I think it was to slow sometimes though.

Did you practice your speech at home before giving it?
Not really, I just went over what I was going to say in my head. I think if I had it would have been better.

What did you notice that you did well in your speech?
I noticed that I did not speak to fast, which was good. I also think I talked loud.

Describe one aspect of public speaking you will work to improve?
I think I need to improve on a lot of things. The main thing is probably talking clearly, or practicing at home.
